Broward Sheriff’s deputies were called to school shooter Nikolas Cruz's family home 39 times since 2010, according to documents obtained Thursday by CNN.
The sheriff’s office received a range of emergency calls that included: “mentally ill person,” “child/elderly abuse,” “domestic disturbance,” “missing person,” and several others.
Details of those calls were not immediately available; most of them are marked “no written report.”
The home on 80th Terrace in Parkland, Florida was sold by the Cruz family in January 2017, according to property records. The shooter’s mother, Lynda Cruz, died in November 2017.

Responding to questions from Sen. Deb Fischer (R-NE) at a Senate Armed Services Hearing on Thursday, Gen. Lori Robinson, the commander of NORAD and the U.S. Northern Command, told the committee that she is “100 percent confident” in her ability to stop a North Korean nuclear missile attack.

Fischer cited a recent editorial from The New York Times as an example of skepticism of U.S. missile defense capabilities. The paper’s editorial criticized President Trump’s request for an expansion of America’s spending on its missile shield, questioning the effectiveness of this program:

Mr. Trump is overselling the program, an interlocking network of interceptors, radars, sensors and so-called kill vehicles. He has boasted that the system is 97 percent effective in preventing limited-scale attacks; the truth is more like 50 percent. So its defense against North Korean weapons is hardly a sure thing.

The program’s failings were on display as recently as last month, when, during a test off the Hawaiian coast, an interceptor missile launched from a test site in Kauai failed to hit its target, an incoming dummy missile. That was the second failure in three tests of the interceptor, the SM-3, which is intended to be a mainstay of American regional missile defense systems being deployed in Romania, Poland and Japan to guard against medium-range missiles. The Pentagon has not disclosed what went wrong.

California Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia, a vocal leader of the #MeToo movement, faces fresh allegations of misconduct, including frequent discussions about sex and alcohol consumption at her Capitol office.

San Diego lawyer Dan Gilleon filed a formal complaint Wednesday with the Legislature detailing the allegations on behalf of four anonymous former Garcia employees.

The complainants allege Garcia, a Los Angeles-area Democrat, regularly talked in front of the staff about her sexual activity, including with other members of the Legislature. They also allege Garcia drank alcohol while doing official Assembly business and pressured staff to drink with her at the office or at bars.

Garcia, in a Facebook post, said she will address each of the issues individually once an investigation has been completed. But she said the claims don't square with the atmosphere she worked to create.

Author Ta-Nehisi Coates revealed Wednesday that he sent a letter to Barack Obama expressing disappointment in him for taking money for speeches, saying he thought the former president "should be better."

Coates is one of the nation's foremost writers on race and a strong supporter of Obama, writing in a piece for the Atlantic that he "came to regard Obama as a skilled politician, a deeply moral human being, and one of the greatest presidents in American history."

Admiral Kurt Tidd, the chief of the U.S. Southern Command, told the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday that the Cuban military has established a “significant presence” in Venezuela in support of the Maduro regime.

Responding to questions from Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI), Tidd said that the U.S. military is observing the Cuban military presence.

Peters remarked that some analysts “believe that there are hundreds to perhaps thousands of Cuban troops in Venezuela.”

Tidd confirmed that reporting.

“When I talk with my counterparts in the region, they have been quick to share that we see a significant presence of Cuban advisers to the security forces that continue to prop up the Maduro regime,” he said.

The admiral added that the communist government’s intervention in the quickly collapsing South American country is “a matter of concern.”

Spraying gas on this raging political inferno is a Hollywood “axis of influence” — a group of established comedians participating in a well-funded political offensive called “Glam Up the Midterms.”

Included in this newly formed comedy troupe are predictable names such as Billy Eichner, James Corden, Sarah Silverman, Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel, Conan O’Brien, John Oliver, Robin Thede, Andy Cohen, and Chelsea Handler. Officially launched on February 2 with an engaging video, “Glam Up the Midterms” is a perfect confluence of politics and entertainment in the Age of Trump. Since comedians think they can influence their fans’ political beliefs, the two are now virtually inseparable.

Democratic Rep. Jan Schakowsky, a ten-term congresswoman from Illinois, brought a can of "whoop ass" to a progressive rally designed to protest cuts to social programs under President Donald Trump's proposed federal budget.

The event, attended by progressive heavyweights and hosted by a progressive reverend, featured a dozen speakers of activists and Democratic lawmakers, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.)

Schakowsky was introduced with a call for political action. "We have more power than Russian bots on Twitter and Facebook. We have the power of the vote!" the host said.

The Illinois congresswoman wasted no time in showcasing her prop.

"So I was just over with AFGE, our American Federation of Government Employees, and I brought with me my AFGE can of whoop ass!" Schakowsky shouted, shaking a can with the name AFGE on it, a fist over the words "WHOOP ASS," and the logo for the union in the corner.

"This is a can–can of whoop ass," Schakowsky continued to laughter and applause. "Because that's what we need to have."

The senior stated that he wasn’t surprised when he found out it was Cruz.

“I wasn’t surprised, but it was kind of unfortunate to hear,” he said.

When asked by Williams how he would prevent such tragedies if he was lawmaker in a “decision-making position,” clearly fishing for a plea for gun control, Brandon Minkoff asserted that the problem isn’t guns — but mental health issues.

“Gun-wise, I don’t think there’s any way to prevent it,” the elder Minoff responded. “You outlaw guns, it just creates higher demand for it. I think it has to do with mental health, though. If he’s been expelled three different times from three different schools, I think he should be helped out.”

Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday criticized ABC’s "The View" for being religiously intolerant after co-host Joy Behar compared his Christian faith to mental illness.

Discussing Omarosa Manigault Newman’s comments about Pence, Behar said Pence’s belief that Jesus speaks to him qualified as "mental illness." co-host Sunny Hostin also said Pence put a "religious veneer" on his views and said it is "dangerous" having him in office.

Pence told Axios‘ Mike Allen that criticism "comes with this job," but he argued that this particular criticism went beyond him and insulted the faith of all believers.

"An overwhelming major of Americans cherish their faith, and we have all different types of faith in this country," Pence said. "But I have to tell you: To have ABC maintain a broadcast forum that compared Christianity to mental illness is just wrong."

"And it’s an insult not to me, but to the vast majority of the American people who, like me, cherish their faith," he added.

He spoke about his own religious habits, which include reading Scripture and praying with his wife each day, and he credited faith with sustaining him.

"I can honestly tell you my faith sustains me in all that I do, and it’s just a regular part of our lives," he said. "But I’m not unusual. I think I’m a very typical American; whatever your faith tradition, people understand that."

He went on to say that Behar’s comment illustrates a larger problem of denigration and ignorance of Americans’ faith and values in the mainstream media.

"I just think it demonstrates how out of touch some people in the mainstream media are with the faith and values of the American people that you could have a major network like ABC permit a forum for invective against religion like that," he said. "I just call them out on it, not because of what was said about me, but it’s just simply wrong for ABC to have a television program that expresses that kind of religious intolerance. We’re better than that, our country is better than that."

The two MSNBC hosts were talking about Wednesday's high school shooting in Parkland, Florida, which left 17 students dead, when they turned on Rubio, a gun rights supporter.

Brzezinski gave her final thoughts on the shooting at the end of "Morning Joe" just before Ruhle began her broadcast.

"Hearing anybody in Washington saying now is not the time is old, it's been used too many times, there are too many bodies in the wake of this conversation that we can't have at this appropriate time," Brzezinski said. "I'd say to Marco Rubio, step up, be a man, talk about it right now, or to anybody else who tries to deflect the question about what to do about guns and assault weapons in our society, step up, be a man and talk about it, and stop thinking about the NRA and your next campaign donation. Just stop. Everyone knows what you're doing and it's time."

Brzezinski then handed the broadcast over to Ruhle, who has a habit of directly addressing the camera to criticize Republicans.

"And to Marco Rubio, you don't have to step up and be a man. Step up and be a human," Ruhle said.

Rubio said Wednesday people should avoid jumping to conclusions and wait for the facts to see if any gun laws could have been passed to prevent the massacre.

The man accused of opening fire at a Florida high school on Wednesday, killing 17 people, was a troubled former student who loved guns and was expelled for unspecified disciplinary reasons, police and former classmates said.

Nikolas Cruz, 19, was arrested about an hour after a shooting rampage at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel told reporters.

Cruz, who had been expelled from the school for reasons that have not been made public, was found with multiple ammunition magazines and one AR-15-style rifle, Israel said.

"We already began to dissect his websites and the things on social media that he was on and some of the things that came to mind are very, very disturbing," Israel said.

Chad Williams, 18, a senior at Stoneman Douglas High school, remembered Cruz as a troubled classmate from middle school. He said Cruz would set off the fire alarm, day after day, and finally got expelled in the eighth grade.

More recently, Williams saw Cruz carrying several publications about guns when they ran into each other at the high school. Williams thought Cruz was there to pick up a younger sibling.

"He was crazy about guns," Williams told Reuters by the side of the road near the high school. "He was kind of an outcast. He didn't have many friends. He would do anything crazy for a laugh, but he was trouble."

Nikolas Cruz, the 19-year-old teenager who allegedly killed at least 17 people at a Florida high school on Wednesday, arrived to the Broward County jail early in the morning on Thursday.

Federal police brought Cruz to the local hospital, arresting him two hours after the shooting on Wednesday early afternoon.

They brought him in jail early Thursday while the investigations continued overnight on the scene. The corpses of 15 victims are reportedly still in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, in Parkland, while 2 are held in the local hospital.

A further dozen injured people were transported to the local hospital.

Cruz, a former student expelled for disciplinary reasons, allegedly opened fire with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle on Wednesday, wearing a gas mask.

YouTube vlogger Ben Bennight alerted the FBI to a comment shared by Cruz on one of his videos back in September, when the boy wrote: 'I'm going to be a professional school shooter.'

Bennight revealed that the FBI was quick to respond to the concerning statement, arriving at his office the very next day to find out if he knew anything about the young man.

That was after he called a local field agent, revealing that his initial attempts to send in a screengrab of the comment failed when the email address he found listed on the federal agency's website came back with a domain error saying that it did not exist.

He finally heard back from the FBI on Wednesday, when they called with some additional questions after 17 people were murdered at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

A source told DailyMail.com that YouTube is n the process of investigating the shooter's activity and postings on the website.

Seventeen people were killed and multiple people were injured when a former student opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida on Wednesday, prompting a massive police response and manhunt as frightened students hid in their classrooms.

CBS News has confirmed that the suspect has been identified as Nikolaus Cruz, 19. A law enforcement source briefed on the shooting said the suspect appears to have pulled the school fire alarm, causing chaos, and then started shooting, reports CBS News news senior investigative producer Pat Milton.

The suspect has not been identified yet, but he has been described as a white male in a red shirt. It is not known the total number of people injured. Coral Springs Mayor Skip Campbell has said that there are “multiple fatalities.”

A young African man, coming from Nigeria, was arrested by the carabinieri after being introduced into a park near a school to masturbate. The offenses that have been challenged are those of corruption of minor and #Atti Osceni in public place. The parents of the children were about to lynch when the gazelle of the Carabinieri arrived.

The crimes contested to man

The man is primarily charged with the corruption of a minor, which is a crime that involves those who perform sexual acts in the presence of #minors of 14 years with the aim of making them assist. This crime is punished with a penalty ranging from 12 months to five years in prison.

While the second offense in question concerns the most common obscene acts in a public place that provides for a sentence of up to 3 years imprisonment and / or with a pecuniary sanction that can reach up to 30,000 euros. The #Nigerian, however, has made the gesture in a place usually frequented by minors and, according to the law, the penalty is increased up to a maximum of 4 years. The 25-year-old homeless [VIDEO]he is accused of having lowered his trousers in order to masturbate in front of a group of children between the ages of six and twelve. The incident occurred near a school in the center of the country and when the military arrived they had to work hard to steal the young African from the hands of some fathers who were about to massacre. The Carabinieri intervened, fortunately, quickly thanks to the 112 call of one of the mothers present at that time.

The Star Spangled Banner will no longer be played at rallies at California High School in San Ramon after student leaders determined the song is racially insensitive.

“It was brought to our attention that the national anthem’s third verse is outdated and racially offensive, wrote the president of the school’s Associated Study Body. “We had nothing but good intentions by removing the song so that we could be fully inclusive to our student body.”

The decision to eliminate the national anthem from student rallies has resulted in a significant amount of backlash from patriotic students and residents.

“There’s been a lot of push back on the removal of the anthem – and not just from conservatives,” senior Dennis Fiorentino said on the Todd Starnes Radio Show.

Fiorentinos, who was a guest Tuesday on my nationally syndicated radio program, said he was shocked when he realized the national anthem had been banned.

“It’s important that we honor and respect those who sacrificed their lives protecting the freedom that us Americans take for granted every day,” he said.

On a side note, kudos to the student journalists at California High School who first reported this story and did so by writing a fair and balanced report. It’s refreshing to see solid journalism from The Californian.

The student body president posted a letter on the high school’s website defending the decision to ban the song by citing a third verse that references “the hireling and slave.”

At a time when white supremacist groups march out in the open, and the president disparages African countries as “shitholes,” it’s not surprising many black Americans are feeling isolated and unsafe in communities and workplaces.

Some are turning those frustrations into acts of self-preservation, spending significant money to get outside of the country — away from the people who make them feel that way. Five black-owned travel organizations told VICE News that they’ve experienced upticks in interest from clients eager to get out of the United States since the election of Donald Trump.

We followed a group of women to the Women of Color Healing Retreat in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica, a travel experience that emphasized yoga, vegan food, and political education seminars — and specifically banned white people.

Not much else needs to be said to prove that Islam is well on its path thanks to liberals to taking over numerous Christian enclaves throughout France.

As you can hear in this new segment about numerous churches in villages throughout France being converted to mosques in order to appease the Muslim invaders that continue to destroy the country.

Liberals are more than open to allowing Muslims to destroy the Christian culture that has created the Western society that currently flourishes due to its moral compass that Muslims are quickly eroding.

And in a recent sit down with CNBC’s Squawk Box, the actor warned that political discourse had degenerated into a ‘Clash of Clans everyday, first thing in the morning.’

‘People are going to war about so much,’ he warned.

He added that Democrats could often create division by striving to represent certain groups or minorities, rather than simply saying they represented Americans.

‘My friend who’s a great comedy writer, Jim Downey, he’s accused of being a right-wing comedy writer, if there is such a thing,’ Murray said. ‘He says, “No, I just think the way the Democrats handle things is poor, where they try to pick out little pieces of a population, oh well we represent the Hispanics, we represent the LGBT or something.”

While discussing President Trump’s defense of “due process” on MSNBC on Monday, analyst Donny Deutsch told a panel that supporters who shared Trump’s views aren’t as “evolved” as anti-Trump forces.

“There is part of this country, both women and men that think there’s an overreaction,” Deutsch began.

“I think that [Trump] preys into that very ignorant, frightening thought that both a lot of men and women in parts of this – they’re not at this table and most of them are not in this city,” he said.

The analyst went on to describe the people he was discussing as “not as evolved” as himself and the people sitting on the panel.

He immediately walked it back, instead saying that Trump supporters were “not as sane.”

“It’s a very primal and a very disgusting point of view,” Deutsch added.

Trump questioned the quick judgements of the #MeToo movement on Saturday, calling for “due process” for the accused:

Peoples lives are being shattered and destroyed by a mere allegation. Some are true and some are false. Some are old and some are new. There is no recovery for someone falsely accused – life and career are gone. Is there no such thing any longer as Due Process?

At a breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor on Wednesday, Rep Schiff told reporters the panel has “non-public” evidence of Trump-Russia collusion and obstruction.

After rattling off his usual talking points of Russian collusion ‘evidence’ which is already public knowledge, Schiff pivoted to the issue of ‘obstruction’.

“There is certainly an abundance of non-public info that we have gathered in the investigation and I think that some of that non-public evidence is evidence on the issue of collusion. Some of that non-public evidence is evidence on the issue of obstruction,” Schiff said.

Adam Schiff then claimed the Trump campaign may have laundered money.

“We have not been able to adequately follow the money,” Schiff said completely ignoring the fact that Hillary Clinton’s entire campaign was a money laundering scheme.

Sen. Tom Cotton: Mr. Wray are you aware of a gentleman by the name of Oleg Derispaska?

FBI Chief Christopher Wray: I’ve heard the name.

Cotton: Is it fair to call him a Putin-linked Russian oligarch.

Wray: Well I’ll leave that characterization to others and certainly not in this setting.

Cotton: Chuck Grassley the chairman of the Judiciary Committee last week sent a letter to a London based lawyer who represents Derispaska and asked if Mr Steele was employed either directly or indirectly by Oleg Derispaska at the time he was running the Steele dossier. Do you know if Christopher Steele worked for Oleg Derispaska?

Ambassador Rice appears to have used this email to document a January 5, 2017 Oval Office meeting between President Obama, former FBI Director James Comey and former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates regarding Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential election. In particular, Ambassador Rice wrote:

“President Obama began the conversation by stressing his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue is handled by the Intelligence and law enforcement communities ‘by the book’. The President stressed that he is not asking about, initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective. He reiterated that our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it normally would by the book.”

A KIM JONG-UN impersonator says he was dragged out of the Winter Olympics by "North Korean heavies" after turning up in character and dancing in front of regime cheerleaders.

Photos taken today show the lookalike - who is notorious for appearing at public events dressed as the despot - waving to the country's cheerleader team at a united Korea hockey game against Japan.

Impersonator Howard today exclusively told The Sun: "I was actually late to the game. When I arrived, I went straight over to the North Korean cheerleaders and waving the flag and supporting them on and clapping.

"They looked really surprised and shocked. Some of them laughed, and got it, but most of them were totally shocked and I was told to sit down by a few heavies.

"After that a few heavies rushed over really p***ed off and I suspect they were North Korean delegates, just by the way they were dressed. I can't confirm, but (they were) most likely North Korean.

"They dragged me out and they kicked me in the shins and were shouting something really angrily in Korean."

A jihadi who injured 30 people after setting off several bombs in New York has been jailed for life.

Ahmad Khan Rahimi expressed no remorse for the explosions that rocked the Chelsea neighbourhood in 2016.

He claimed: "I don’t harbor hatred towards anyone.

"But through life experience, I have learned to understand why there’s such frustration between the Muslim community overseas and the American people."

Rahimi, a 30-year-old U.S. citizen born in Afghanistan, said that he had been “harassed” by authorities while traveling because of his Muslim appearance after he started practising the religion.

Rahimi also said that his father had reported him to the Federal Bureau of Investigation several years ago because he feared that Rahimi was getting involved in terrorism, and believed in the slogan, “see something, say something.”
